A WOMAN has been jailed for assaulting four officers at a Bradford police station.
Candice Underwood, 40, of Shetcliffe Lane, Bradford, was jailed for a total of 16 weeks for four charges of assault by beating of an emergency worker.
All of the assaults took place at Trafalgar House Police Station, Nelson Street, Bradford, on June 17, 2021.
In the first charge, she was committed to prison for eight weeks. She was also ordered to pay a £128 victim surcharge.
Underwood was committed to prison for eight weeks, to run consecutively, for a second assault on an emergency worker charge.
In the third assault charge, she was committed to prison for eight weeks, to run concurrently.
The fourth assault offence saw her committed to prison for eight weeks, to run concurrently.
She was jailed as the court deemed the offence so serious because it was a sustained attack on four emergency workers, police officers, which caused injury to two of them.
No compensation was ordered by the court due to the limited means of the defendant. Underwood was also disqualified from holding or obtaining a driving licence for 22 months for driving a motor vehicle when the alcohol level was above the limit.
This offence took place on Tong Street, Bradford, on May 31, 2021, after consuming so much alcohol that the proportion of it in your breath, namely 74 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, exceeded the prescribed limit.
Underwood was sentenced for all five offences at Bradford & Keighley Magistrates’ Court on July 4, 2022.
